The Uber Monthly 3x3 10,000 Cube Marathon!!!

Lol. Nuclearbigdaddy, if you manage to do this, I will truly be amazed at not only your dedication, but how much free time you have o.O

If you succeed, I will try to break your 10-day record in the summer...
 
I'd like to try this but I'm a little confused as to how this will work. So if I choose to start on june 25th, then my last day to complete this comp would be the 24th of july? Is that right? Also, I use qqtimer but I noticed in the description that qqtimer won't be able to handle 10000 solves. So what would i have to do? complete x amount of solves in any given day, then copy and paste it all in a spread sheet? Are the scrambles provided somewhere or do I use qqtimer for that too? Apologies if all this info was in the description.

Is there anything else during the course of completing this would be helpful to know?

Thanks

Alrighty I'm giving this a go. I tried to do it the month before US Nationals last year, but some stuff came up and I only got about 3000 solves done. I'm doing it again for practice before US Nationals this year and I took advantage of having nothing to do today by getting a small chunk done in one day!

my results will be posted here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZZdoO4Oc76nHc8dCxKD_jnF3ZdhcVhQN0Fyxse3thFU/edit
 
I also want to do 10 000 3x3 solves this month
day 2:
number of times 333

total number of times: 666
 
Wow, I just figured out that, if I were to do the 10,000 solves, pulling off a 30.00 average (which is a couple seconds below my actual average), I would be cubing for almost 3.5 days! And this doesn't even include scrambling, inspection, etc. In fact, including 10 seconds for scrambling and 10 seconds for inspecting, this marathon would take up almost 6 days!

If that's not a marathon, then I don't know what is.
 
I'm going to try to do the 10000 solves on Cubemania... I've already done 2060 solves there already, so my goal will be 12060 solves total by the end of this month.
 
Started today with 206 solves, tomorrow I'll increase the number :P

Deadline: 26th August

Times:
9.84, 12.33, 12.05, 12.24, 13.93, 13.34, 12.73, 13.71, 14.91, 13.89, 13.85, 12.84, 14.64, 12.75, 12.66, 12.14, 13.78, 11.52, 14.24, 13.17, 12.89, 14.03, 12.32, 12.44, 12.35, 11.71, 11.54, 14.26, 15.63, 13.46, 11.15, 12.91, 12.97, 14.90, 12.11, 13.28, 13.10, 12.18, 13.43, 13.69, 11.72, 14.91, 10.85, 10.65, 15.52, 11.94, 14.17, 13.86, 14.14, 12.17, 13.28, 13.90, 14.11, 12.58, 13.60, 13.07, 12.84, 16.41, 11.74, 10.56, 13.45, 13.36, 13.40, 13.60, 13.70, 12.42, 13.69, 13.27, 13.32, 14.63, 14.21, 12.01, 13.52, 11.66, 14.03, 12.39, 13.23, 13.28, 13.88, 14.20, 13.10, 11.97, 12.16, 13.02, 12.64, 11.95, 11.74, 14.42, 13.09, 12.00, 12.89, 13.66, 13.56, 12.79, 13.12, 12.78, 12.75, 14.44, 12.72, 14.23, 15.09, 13.13, 11.50, 13.61, 13.63, 13.08, 14.24, 11.95, 12.16, 12.46, 11.59, 13.13, 15.36, 12.44, 12.78, 13.28, 12.86, 13.19, 13.43, 12.57, 11.91, 13.67, 13.31, 11.73, 14.74, 13.34, 11.48, 11.20, 10.90, 12.23, 13.78, 12.92, 13.60, 13.74, 13.21, 14.30, 13.07, 13.17, 12.69, 12.64, 11.25, 10.15, 14.09, 11.85, 14.06, 12.73, 13.43, 14.44, 13.36, 13.63, 12.63, 12.33, 12.84, 11.12, 12.78, 16.20, 11.22, 11.68, 13.25, 14.13, 14.34, 12.76, 14.34, 13.36, 13.14, 13.56, 13.63, 11.78, 9.32, 12.99, 10.64, 13.23, 12.99, 12.44, 11.96, 13.54, 12.42, 12.17, 12.53, 14.56, 12.73, 12.68, 12.67, 13.12, 13.53, 14.34, 14.54, 14.14, 13.32, 12.45, 13.29, 13.25, 12.92, 14.34, 13.91, 12.90, 12.22, 13.45, 11.87, 11.46, 12.64, 13.98, 13.69, 12.84, 14.32, 13.64
 
I'm tempted to do this with Pyraminx, but I can't do it in August (writing a 50k word novel (~1.6k words/day) plus school starts) or sept, oct, nov, dec, jan, feb, march, apr or may. I write another novel in june, then July I do movie marathons :D (star wars, lotr, jurassic park, pirates of the caribbean, karate kid), and then writing again in august, etc.


How long does it take to do 333 solves each day?
 
Ickathu: 2-3 hours for me a day it was including chat time
Towards the end I was pushing to <2 hours each day but that was really pushing it, and no breaks. Also. I personally challenge you to complete 3x3 in august. If you do it you will receive 2, maybe 3 imaginary cookies. Seriously, I'm sure you can find time. I managed to get 9000 done in a month where we had school production rehearsals 9-7 every day for a week and a bit. I turned in to a zombie however

Will be doing this in (again!) august. Aiming for a 8.0x (or lower) avg10000, taking into account how much I postulate I'll improve. Yeah I am really pushing it. Should take me fewer days than 31 as it's summer break but I have not been cubig all day every day...

Also, if I were to do a cubing marathon I could probably get it done in 3 days. But no way I'm doing that unless I'm at someone else's house. And if Big Bang Theory is on.
